When looking at the information of On Balance Volume indicator, a question arises: is it a strong or weak movement? Should it be compared with previous days? These data should be normalized to always have a reference.


This indicator presents the followings parameters:

  • Normalization period (Max-Mins absolute)

  • Smoothing period (-1 off)

  • Tick/Real Volume

  • Maximum number of bars to calculate (-1 off)

  • Upper value normalization

  • Lower value normalization

Calculation: normOBV = (value - absMin) * (relMax - relMin) / (absMax - absMin) + relMin
